Perfect storms

Well I finally fitted the Perfect storms that Sam made for me and I am sad to say that you are all going to be disappointed you didn't get a set (ha had you going didn't I). The bike now sounds like a dive bombing spitfire with a nice low rumble at idle. Man they seem to have really unleashed the beast, I just opened it up in first and short-shift the rest of the gears because I am already at the end of the road. I used to do that in second gear, that's the difference that I noticed straight away. When I got out on the main road and filtered to the front at the lights I let it rip ..... spun the wheel until I changed gear, looked in to the mirror to see the cars just starting to move while I was already slowing for the next set. There are no heat shields because it would be a shame to hide these works of Sam (I was going to say art but It just wouldn't sound right if you know what I mean). The heat was not noticeable but my jeans did get scorched so I will make a Lexan heat shield connected to the brake cylinder cover. This will be near invisible and stop my jeans getting in contact with the pipes. I have worked with Lexan before and it is near indestructible, you have to actually melt it to fluid to bend it and that takes a lot of heat from a gas axe to do. The weight of the bike has changed noticeably, making it easier to maneuver with the dark side tire when backing out of the carport. Not having the three big flared out pipes is a bonus as well, less space needed to maneuver. I don't want to sound like I am sucking up to Sam but credit where credit is due, 10/10 for looks, 10/10 for finish, 10/10 for fit, 10/10 for sound. Sam don't let this go to your head but you are the man. I am one exceptionally satisfied customer and don't mind saying so.

You haven't said anything new or anything that Myself and Others have said before He Is The PipeMan, congrats shame they are on one of the slower black bikes but it will look better when you get some coloured shocks so that will make it go a bit faster

They look awsome mate. Bastard!

Wicked looking things

they sure look good Goth,
Especially since they're on a FAST BLACK bike.

That looks pretty sick really. I'm jealous.

So nice ! the best if possible in black coated!

Don't do it the ceramic coating dulls big time once it gets a bit of heat into it the heat shield still stay shiny thou, if I were doing it again I would have the internals ceramic coated and have the out side done in a yellow (in my case) or in Pete's (Gothlander) case black Nickle plating it is hard, durable and has chromelike brillance

Loving the pipes guy's, thanks for the the tunes Sam, Pig3r and Hanso and all involved. I will try them out when I get a laptop sorted, may be a bit lean at the mo so wont be doing any long trips until the right tune is loaded. I am running a Tor's, bypass, triple K&N's with decel pop tune so should be right for a bit. Will get a sound clip as soon as possible.

Like very much, in fact, would Sam make more???
